There is far too little discussion about the links between mental health and the thing we’ve all worried about at some point in our lives: money. Basic Income Conversation has long been investigating the link between basic income and mental health. Now we're using our seminar series to shine a light on the topic.
SIGN UPThis letter sees historic levels of political support for a basic income, with peers, mayors, councillors and members of every parliament and assembly in the UK endorsing basic income pilots across all four nations, including Sadiq Khan, Andy Burnham, Caroline Lucas, Tracy Brabin, Clive Lewis, Christine Jardine, Ronnie Cowan and John McDonnell. These politicians are joined by trade union leaders, psychologists, community leaders, organisers, theatre directors, political whistleblowers and civil society leaders in calling for this policy.

Basic income has the potential to impact all aspects of life in the UK. We're supporting organisations in various sector to explore how basic income affects different social issues.
Is there a Basic Income Conversation you want to start?
Research is crucial to designing the right basic income for the UK. We support an interdisciplinary Research Network to encourage knowledge sharing and collaboration. The Research Network hosts regular, public seminars. Are you a researcher working on basic income?
Whether it's a full national roll out of basic income or pilots to test the idea, we need politicians to show leadership and sign basic income into legislation. For a change of this magnitude, it's going to take cross-party support. That's what we're building, can you help us?
